The 20 ton Rotunda is designed to be a self sufficient combat platform and home for its single crew member.

From a distance, the sleek Rotunda resembles any number of civilian I.C.E. powered saloon cars, only enhanced by body kits which allow it to become a variety of other similarly shaped vehicle types. But under its mundane shell, a meager ton of Mercury Weave Ferro-Fibrous armor, the Rotunda is equipped for scouting and even light raiding duties. Unlike other scout vehicles, the Rotunda is built for maximum endurance while under cover, its LTV 160 Fusion Engine gives it effectively unlimited range, and the driver's cooking and sleeping accommodations, if cramped, mean they can operate away from base for over three months.[3][5][6]

While intended only as a scout and lightly armored, the Rotunda features a small but significant weapons array with which to defend itself or take out targets of opportunity. The primary weapon is Amdecker 300 Large Laser, back-up provided by a Holly SRM-2 rack with a single ton of reloads. While the Holly rack is one of the best known and trusted designs, the accurate Amdecker laser is not, with many drivers reporting issues with heat dissipation and technicians repairing it.[3][5][6]

An early variant, the 100 series lacked sturdy suspension system and needed frequent maintenance, limiting its endurance.

J-110

Fixed their suspension issues, but near identical armor placement as the 100.

LRM

This version of the Rotunda replaces the fusion engine with a traditional ICE version, which reduces the top speed slightly. It also replaces the standard weapons with a pair of LRM-5s and a single ton of ammunition. BV (2.0) = 303[7]
